I got 9,300 out of my last rear tire on my bird.I'm going for 10k on this one.

Decisions Decisions. Do you want a Triumph that looks like a Harley or one that looks like a Beemer? So much for the slogan "go your own way".



Paul I believe 9k is the exception, remember I saw that tire in Georgia earlier this year. You might have been pushing the envelope just a bit



Mike I still think I could of got another thousand miles out that tire.

The truth is if you check out the T-bird 1600 forum some are even getting less than 6,000 but some are now getting close to 10 with a couple of brands. Most agree the weight of the bike almost at 750 lbs. plus the stickiness of the sport tires are causing the fast wear. The search goes on the for the perfect all round tire that combines good handling and high mileage for the bird w/o going to the dark side like some people we know.
